Understanding Trademark Symbols
Copyright Symbol
Copyright Symbol
Copyright Symbol
- Protects original works of authorship (books, music, videos, websites, etc.)
- No registration required
- Protection exists automatically upon creation, but formal registration strengthens legal rights
- Use this if you're the original creator of any written, visual, or audio content
Trademark Symbol
Copyright Symbol
Copyright Symbol
- Indicates that a word, phrase, logo, or design is being used as a brand, even if not yet officially registered
- No registration required
- You can use ™ immediately upon using a brand in commerce
- Startups often use ™ before registration
- Best used for unregistered marks you want to protect or promote
Registered Trademark Symbol
- Shows that your trademark is officially registered with a trademark office
- Registration is required
- Using ® without registration is illegal
- Use this only after receiving the Registration Certificate
Service Mark Symbol
- Like ™, but used for services instead of goods
- No registration required
- It is common in the U.S
- In India, this symbol isn’t widely used because ™ is accepted for both goods and services under Indian law.
